35. Thank you Pamela. Hate speech always preceeds physical violence.
Once a population is dehumanized then it's open season on them. I'm sure you've been following the language used to dehumanize illegal aliens from Mexico. Lou Dobbs comes on T.V. every day and utters hate speach dehumanizing undocumented workers from Mexico and goes around the country to encourage violence (albeit indirectly) against these poor people. The mayor of Hazelton, PA, and Dobbs laughed when Barletta talked about witnessing alleged illegal aliens packing up their belongings and leaving with their families in the middle of the night after they had passed an anti-illegal alien renters ordinance. So many Americans are blaming their financial and social problems on Illegal Aliens. Onced dehumanized violence follows.
